It's time for Suu to throw invictives against the New England Patriots while risking bodily harm by being a Bucs fan in Rhode Island, and for ECH to hilariously predict the Seahawks will win the Super Bowl.

The Bucs are playing the Pats on September 22nd. I plan to be hospitalized on purpose so I can sue the ball club for having the second doucheist fandom in football next to Philadelphia. Almost like the only time I went to Foxboro, when a fan decided it would be really funny to throw me into the railing and break my ribs, yet security wanted to kick my dad and I out, because we were Bucs fans, not Pats fans.
Your fandom is wicked wetodddid.

American sports, LAWL
Yes, because English football hooligans are peaceful, jolly blokes.
I'm not picking the Seahawks this year because for the first time ever they're actually the best team in the NFL and I don't want to jinx them.
I mean seriously, have you SEEN our defense? Not to mention the best young QB in the league. On a cheap rookie contract because we stole him in the 3rd round. We're primed for a 5 year title window at least.
I'm picking Tampa Bay to go 3 and 13. :lulz:
Strike that, Jets just took the lead. Make it 0 and 16. :horrormirth:
I will say one thing about being a Pats fan, even with a lead and five seconds left, you can't REALLY say the game's over yet.
Suu, your team just got beaten by Geno Smith. Tell us, how do you feel about that? :lulz:

Sweet jesus, I'M picking Seahawks as a Superbowl contender this year and they weren't even on my radar 2 years ago.
Team's fucking solid.
Pats played an ugly game today, though. If they end up a weak team this year I'm actually not opposed to it because that division needs some LIFE.
Ugly's the right term for it. There isn't really any good reason the game was as close as it was. The amount of penalties by the Bills was only matched by the massive fuckups by the Pats.
The Pats don't exist to play good football, they exist to give fans heart attacks in the last two minutes.
That game was rough on me, and I don't even LIKE the Pats. Christ. (Fortunately, I have no love for the Bills either.)
It's going to be a long season for a lot of fans this year.

No, you misunderstand. I'm laughing at American sports entirely.
Carry on.
Though it's come to my attention recently that the less violent a sport is in the states, the more violent the fans are. Baseball fans are more likely to trash a city after a loss (or win) than hockey fans, who usually will give a light jab and go, "Hey, good game, eh?"

I think that is global, though it only seems to apply to team sports.
There are very few checkers hooligans.

Now I want to see a cricket riot. Or a polo riot. Or a Kentucky Derby riot.
Egads! may it be that we cannot reduce this to a single dimension?? UNACCEPTABLE!

Speaking of crickets, that's all I seem to hear these days when I listen for the sounds of people talking shit about the Seahawks. :lulz:
Bump. You know why. :lulz:
Yeah, yeah.
Hope you kick the shit out of the Broncos.
I'm going for the Seahens, but I did enjoy the silence this weekend....and Belichick firing off that Welker deliberately tried to hurt Talib. :lulz:
Yeah. And people are talking about Richard Sherman being black classless. Belichick is so far out of line it's ridiculous. And he doesn't have the heat of the moment as an excuse.
It's fairly out of character for him, which makes me think the trade at the beginning may have been more personal than economic.
There's also that without Talib, Thomas got 105 yards. Not that the offense was doing that hot, but the defense pretty much collapsed after Talib got hurt.
I'm still going to blind the world with my Buccaneerness this weekend during the garb challenge that I entered.

When the challenger said she was doing the throwback Patriots logo as the Lewis chess set berserker, I knew that I could turn myself into a walking female version of Bucco Bruce.
Well, that was certainly satisfying. Nothing like three hours of watching the Manning Pout.
I was really hoping for a shutout, but you can't have everything, right?

Needless to say, I'm just. Literally can't even.
I remember that feeling, back in 2002. Haven't felt that for quite a while, come to think of it.
Brady's morphing into Bledsoe.
I was at work for the first three-fourths of the game, in an empty store. Every so often I'd hear someone burst into tears or start screaming in the parking lot, as they fled the two other restaurants in my complex that had big-screens blasting the game. One guy beat up his car. Two little boys came in to use the bathroom while their father had a good cry in the Dodge Ram.
For the last quarter of the game I was at home, but I don't have a TV so I just watched the internet blow up while I knit.
I have to say, this was probably the most entertaining game I've ever seen and I didn't even watch it.
GO SEAHAWKS! And good on you for giving the Broncos some pity-points. Good sportsmanship and all that.

I heard from friends in Seattle who took their kids to the game that it was CRAYZAY downtown. Like the whole thing was a party. They said that their daughter kissed an entire row of cops.
I'm thinking of going to the victory parade tomorrow since I have the day off.

Awww. I'm pretty sure all Seattle is going to be partying for days. Isn't this the first time the Seahawks have won the Super Bowl?
Yup. And they've existed since 1976.
Also, it's Seattle's first professional sports championship in any league since 1979, and that was the Sonics who were stolen and moved to goddamned Oklahoma City no longer exist.

That's funny, I was going to say something a while ago about how there are no sports team rivalries between Portland and Seattle (pertaining to Seattle's weird Portland insecurity) but then I was like oh wait, no, maybe the Trailblazers and the SuperSonics? But I hadn't heard anything about the SuperSonics lately.
Actually though, Sounders/Timbers is one of the fiercest rivalries in pro sports. And whatever the rest of the country may think about including MLS as a major pro sport, the Sounders routinely draw 60,000 plus fans to home games. That's more than many (if not most) EPL or Bundesliga teams, so that makes them one of the most highly attended teams in the most popular sport in the world and the intensity of the rivalry lives up to that lofty stage.
Bump, because 43 to 8.

Is Timbers one of our teams? What do they play?
Soccer. They are your other major pro sports team besides the Blazers.

Ahhhhh.
We had a baseball team for a while but my accountant informs me that they don't exist any longer. Shame.
Isn't there also a hockey team?
There is a hockey team, but they (like the baseball team that now resides in some fuckhole like Fresno or something) are a minor league team.
And oddly, in spite of how big Portland is, the hockey team is in a very low-level minor league. They play in the same league as teams from Moose Jaw and Medicine Hat and Kamloops. Oh, and Everett. It's all 16-20 year old kids. Which, IMO, makes for a more fun game to watch. The players are hungry and the game is faster and more open than the typical check-and-grab-and-repeat NHL game.
